Brianna Christie is the owner and founder of Modify Salon in Minneapolis, and has been expertly cutting my hair for 15 years! I look forward to every haircut not just because of her skills, but because we always have great, deep conversations about creativity, wellness, being a business owner, and life.
Listen in to hear us talk about self improvement coming from a place of self love, how seeking support from a coach totally changed how Brianna meets her needs as a mom and business owner, being intentional about finding fun and joy, and how she helps her clients feel most like their authentic selves.
TOPICS DISCUSSED:
- “Mastering a good lifestyle” and what that means to Brianna
- Self improvement coming from a place of self love
- How it can be complicated to identify as “creative”
- How she became a hairdresser and how that work became her purpose by helping people show who they really are on the inside
- Imposter syndrome and how we deal with it (not necessarily fix it!)
- Her biggest challenge as a business owner and as a creative person
- Setting boundaries
- Needing alone time as an extrovert (yes, extroverts need alone time, too), and how she schedules with that in mind to preserve her energy level
- How she has sought support from a coach and how that affected how she looks at her own needs
- Her experience with burnout and how that led to creating more balance in her life
- Her favorite self care practices, from the more tactical to the often underappreciated
